Piles are frequently preceded by sense
of weight in the back, lOins and lower
part of the abdomen, causing the patient

kidneys or neighboring organs. At times,

ulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like perspiration, producing a
very disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is common attendant. Blind,

are some people who are necessarily
compelled to buy supplies on time To
those we would say, be very careful how
you manipulate your credit privilege, elise
il will soon be gone. Do not buy what
you need but that which you absolutely
cannot do without. Better stint yourself

creditors, and leave your family to the

The whiskey men first thought Texas
democracy easy game and set their net
only for democratic birds; but when they
saw that the democratic birds were not
disposed TO walk into their net then they
spread out another wing and baited it
with few prominent colored and white
republicans. In fact the huntsman of St.
Louis and his agents in Texas want meat
and they care little whether it comes
from the bones Of democratic OF republi-
can birds; and while they were first dis
posed to be partial TO the democrats (be-
cause they thought they would be easier
caught, and that they could buy the col
ored republicans in covy) they found
their mistake, and now have set fresh
bats to catch any sort of meat that will
be weak enough to walk into their trap.

Our friends, the enemy say prohibition
can not be enforced. The law forbidding
the sale of liquor will be violated they
say. Violated by whoml Not By the
ProhibitiOnist certainly. Then if violi-
ton occur, it must be by the anti prohibit
tionists. The logic of their arguments,
then, Is this; Then they viii sell whisky
legally or illegally, and you had letter

tion 10 do crime as an excuse for cppt--'

Cloud Bur SITS.

The term cloud-burst is a misno-
mer. Properly speaking clouds never
burst; they simply dissolve by eondensa-
tion in rain. To produce condensation
of vapor which We call rain this vapor
must be suddenly cooled. This happens
when the temperature of the lower strata
of the atmosphere is greatly increased,
and the rising currents of warm air force
the vapor up into the cold regions. This
is why very hot weather in temperate lat
itudes is always followed by rain. Also,
when the clouds, carried on the surface
of a warm breeze, meet with a cold wind
from the polar regions or when strong
current of air carries the clouds against
the colder surface of high mountain,
and the contact with this surface con-
denses the vapor. Common phraseology in
mountain regions describes these clouds
as striking the mountain side and burst
ing by the contact, as though they were
bladders filled with water, whose sides
suddenly gave way. The more correct
understanding of the phenomena shows
that the rain is simply the condensation
of the vapor molecules, the process be-
ing the same whether it be carried on
slowly or rapidly. The effect of sudden
ness is much increased in mountain regions
by the overflow of springs and the in
creased velocity of streams as they flow
through the rocky gorges of the hill

A Ghost Guards the Cave.

In the squaw Peak Range, Arizona, is
a cave which no prospector has the nerve
to attempt to explore on account of it
being guarded by ghost. In the en-
trance Sits thing that looks like the
corpse of an Indian woman. In 1868 a
party of whites found the cave filled with
Tonto Indians, whom they attacked and
murdered. Since then no one has had
the courage to try to enter the cave be-
cause of the thing that sits in its door.
Last week George Matthews and his
partner, named McCloud, being IN the
range, concluded to have look at the
Squaw Cave, not having any faith in
the stories told of it. The cave is situated
under the highest butte of the Squaw
Peak Range. They found it and just
took one look at the thing sitting in its
mouth. The Herald says: "Matthews
declares there is not enough money in
Maricopa County to pay him to 60 there
again, and his partner, McCloud, has not
stopped running since-at least he has not
been seen since that time Virginia

How to Save Persons Exposed 70
Beath by browning.

The following timely directions nave
bee=. issued by DR., l. D. Jones, presldent
osthe Ohio State Board of Health:
First-Remove all obstructlons 10
breathing: cut loose the neck and waist
bands Let the person be turned lace
downward. with the head down hill, the
person having charge to stand astrioe ot
the hips with the face toward the heao Oh
the patient, and both the fingers under
the belly: raise the body as high as pos
sible without lifting the forehead from
the ground, and give the body smart
Jerk to remove the mucus from the throat
and the water from the windpipe; holo
the body suspended long enough SO that
YOU may count five slowly. Repeat the
Jerk three or four times slowly.
Second Let the patient be placed 1ace
downward. YOU maintaining your posi-
tion astride the body. Grasp the clo1h-
inc at the shoulder points, or if the pa
ticnt is naked, place your fingers into the
annpits, with the thumbs on the top OF
the shoulders, and raise the ehest as
high as YOU can, letting the head rest on
the ground. Keep this position untii
YOU can count three slowly. Keep the
naticnt on the ground with the forehead
ON the arm and the neck Strengthened; !;
sec that the mouth and nose are Tree.
Place your elbows against your Knees
and your hands against the sides OF the
chest over the lower ribs, press down
ward and inward with force, count TWO
slowly, then suddenly let go and grasp
the shoulders as before and ralse the
chest thcn press upon the ribs, Ihese
movements should be alternatcd Tor ten
or fifteen times a minute, unless breath
mo has been restored sooner. Use the
same regularity as in natural oreath-
ing. - ,>oo, W.
stored then restore the animal Ecat.
Wrap the patient in blankets Put hot
water or hot bricks or anything to restore
warmth. Warm the head as fast as the
body. TO prevent convulsions. Rub the
L,Iy and slap the tlesiy parts. This Will
nr,jucc warmth. When you are salts
iicl the patient can swallow, give no:
drinks, coffee, tea, or sparlhSiy ol
.nir.ts with hot water. Place the patient
On a warm bed and let there be plenty OF
fresh air in the room. Keep the patient
quiet. Avoid delay. Artificial breath,
ING is of the most Importance. DO not
permit the patient to lie on the back un-
less some person prevents the tongue
from falling backward. which might pro-
duce fatal choking. If breathing ceases
give smart slaps on the face or sudden
Jerks of the hand, and it will sometimes
start again. Do not give up too soon,
for within two hours it may be near sue
cess.

Only a Fly Speck.

In the Adiutant-General's office at
Washington there is division where
mutiIated army rolls are copied. These
copies have to be exact fac-similes of the
originals, even to the spelling of words
improperly and tracing the sky rocket
marks on the rolls caused by the slip of
the pen of the not always over careful
company clerk. Among the many clerks
employed on this work are two old men,
who are great sticklers in having their
copies exact. For whole half day, a
short time since, they examined black
spot on a roll one was copying to see
whether it was a comma, period, or slip
of the pen. They had criticised the spot
at every angle, had placed it in the sun
light and had brought a powerful mag
nifying glass to bear on it, without be-
ing able to agree as to whether it was a
comma or pcriod-one contcnding. it
was the former point, while the other
felt certain it was period. They re-
ferrcd it to another clerk, who was con-
sidcred an expert in reading such things,
and he thought it was meant for colon.
As last resort they referred the matter
to a young fellow-clerk, and he soon set
tied the question by picking the disputed
black dot off with his finger nail. 1t was
fly speck.
